Ebob Miniatures - A Belgium holiday in Manchuria...

These were languishing on the paint table for months....

I picked them up on whim at Christmas and was in two minds on whether to actually paint them or move them on. The problem was historical accuracy vs table top gaming experience.

They are lovely castings by the guys as ebob miniatures who do a range of WW1 Belgiums, I thought they would give me an additional option for Russian Cavalry for the RJW Project.

With Tsuba Miniatures shortly to release Japanese cavalry the Russians will need reinforcements.

Being known for always picking projects off the beaten track, I suspect I could get away with using these proxies and claimed them to be Russian Frontier Guards, but might have to pack them away when the more purist gamers visit the club or these with an eye for detail.

I have completed both mounted and dismounted versions, but depending on the size of the game could be classed as two separate units if desired.

Next up more casaulty and low ammo bases following the recent release from Tsuba, those will be the real thing honest.....
